U.S.-France Cooperative Research: Forbidden Emission Lines as a Probe of Energetic Winds from Low Mass Young Stars Surrounded by Accretion Disks.

9314187 Edwards这个为期三年的奖项支持美国和法国在恒星天文学和天体物理学方面的合作研究，这些研究小组分别来自马萨诸塞州阿默斯特的五所大学和法国格勒诺布尔的天文台。五学院联合是由史密斯、阿默斯特、霍利奥克山、汉普郡学院和马萨诸塞大学的天文系组成的联盟。史密斯学院的苏珊·爱德华兹（Suzan Edwards）和格勒诺布尔天文台台长克劳德·贝尔图（Claude Bertout）是主要研究人员和团队负责人。他们的研究目的是研究环绕年轻恒星的太阳风和吸积盘的物理关系和起源。美国研究人员是观测天文学家，他们收集并分析了金牛座T星的数据。他们的研究将得到格勒诺布尔理论恒星形成小组的补充，该小组将解释这些数据。太阳风似乎在恒星形成中起着至关重要的作用。它们的起源和特征将促进我们对新恒星如何形成的理解。＊＊＊

9314187 Edwards This three-year award supports U.S.-France cooperative research in stellar astronomy and astrophysics between research groups from Five Colleges Incorporated, Amherst, Massachusetts, and the Astronomical Observatory in Grenoble, France. Five Colleges Incorporated is a consortium of astronomy departments of Smith, Amherst, Mount Holyoke, Hampshire College and the University of Massachusetts. Suzan Edwards of Smith College and the Director of the Grenoble Observatory, Claude Bertout, are the principal investigators and team leaders. The objective of their research is to study the physical relationship and the origin of solar winds and accretion disks that surround very young stars. The U.S. investigators are observational astronomers and assembled and analyzed a collection of data on T Tauri stars. Their research will be complemented by the theoretical star formation group in Grenoble, who will interpret the data. Solar winds appear to play vital role in star formation. Their origin and characteristics will advance our understanding of how new stars are created. ***
